Bang Bang Shrimp
Description
This recipe begins by marinating peeled and deveined shrimp in buttermilk to enhance tenderness and help the coating adhere. After draining, the shrimp are coated in cornstarch, which crisps nicely upon frying. The shrimp are fried in hot oil until just golden, creating a light, crisp exterior.
The sauce combines creamy mayonnaise with the heat of sriracha, the sweetness of Thai sweet chili sauce, and a touch of honey for balance. The fried shrimp are tossed in this sauce while still warm, allowing the sauce to coat them evenly, resulting in a creamy, spicy, and sweet flavor profile.
Bang Bang Shrimp can be served immediately for the best texture contrast between crispy shrimp and creamy sauce.
